A Newsletter of Humorous Writing

For November 2-8, 2017, a roundup of the week's
finest prose humor and prose humor-related news.

Hello and welcome to a Newsletter of Humorous Writing, the email propaganda arm of the acclaimed humorous readings show, An Evening of Humorous Readings. As the nights grow longer, you have more and more time to curl up with some nice short humor, and maybe even read it aloud to a special someone who will look deep into your eyes and say, "Why are you trying to be funny right now?"

What We Enjoyed This Week
